Game 37: Dodgers @ San Francisco Giants 5:6

Aaron Sele ran his record to 2-0 against his critics (me included, partially). I am giving him every credit for seven very effective innings, staying low on a pitch count (86 pitches altogether) and general composure in difficult game situations. Very very good outing from Aaron. Too bad Danny Baez could not hold the lead again. At this point (and I'm boiling), I'd give the closer job to Jonathan Broxton. Really - I've had enough...

Some more encouraging news from the bay:

(1) I could not have been more wrong advocating a day-off for J.D. Drew as he did not need any. 2-for-4 including a triple, a walk and 2 RBI.

(2) The Giants bullpen is struggling way more than ours! Eight walks issued on the day (with some pitches way off and close to wild), falling behind pitchers on every possible occasion... Too bad we did not proper guys on base in straight steal and/or hit and run situations, 'cause we would have feasted on their wildness.

(3) Judging by a couple of dugout shots, Brad Penny's back does not bother him enough not to smile and lean over the dugout fence. Hope the MRI, which Josh Rawitch said was needed, comes out negative.

(4) Jae Seo opposes Jason Schmidt on Sunday's series finale. Anything can happen, folks. I'm going to turn in mumbling: "Tomorrow is another day" as my prayer...
